Pupil Premium

The government gives schools a 'pupil premium' to support the achievement of children whose circumstances may make them vulnerable. This includes children entitled to free school meals and children who are 'looked after'.

The government requires that we make public how we spend the 'pupil premium'. Members of the school governing body (and particularly the Finance and Staffing Committee) have a detailed oversight of how the funds are used. This level of detail is updated regularly.
